3rdand12 Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 3 hours ago, Logic said: The severity of Samuel's turf toe would be a great thing to know, as it drastically affects the outlook for his recovery. We have to assume from the "week to week" language that it's not Grade 3. Grade 1: A mild case that may heal on its own in a few days to a week with rest. Grade 2: May require a few days to a couple of weeks off, but could take a few weeks to fully heal. Grade 3: Can take two to six months to heal, and may require surgery and wearing a cast for six or more weeks. A study of 15 football players with grade 3 injuries found they missed an average of 16.5 weeks of playing time while recovering from surgery. At least its not that plantar fasciitis thing Byrd had for years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BADOLBILZ Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 (edited) 4 hours ago, HappyDays said: Awful news. Samuel getting injured is the worst case scenario on the offense and turf toes can linger. They are going to have to make a trade or do something. We cannot go into the season with potentially Mack Hollins as our 2nd best WR. @Avisan already ran the numbers on what to expect from a 525 target season for Mack Hollins.

McB deserves everything they get. Ah yeah, right. I forgot that rookies can’t get injured per new NFL bylaws. I think most people would take Coleman + MVS and Samuels over Coleman + two day 2-3 draft picks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McDermott for his faults is actually pretty good at performing well with less talent (remember the Tyrod playoff Bills team?), and Allen is at the peak of his powers.

Predicting 4-2 with some absolutely mid teams on the schedule is not delusional. I mean, I expect 4-2. Anything less would be disappointing. The first 6 games aren't full of powerhouses. Also if we are weaker at WR, lets use more of the positions we are strong at - TE and RB. Why are we always talking about lack of WR and not talking about how we can use our TE and RB strengths in our offense? 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why are we always talking about lack of WR and not talking about how we can use our TE and RB strengths in our offense? Because that would take away the jollies some folks get out of being negative Nancies. Seriously, losing Samuel hurts if he is out for an extended time. He’ll be counted on a lot in Brady’s offense. I imagine you’ll see a lot of 2 TE looks, maybe even 3. Shakir will get moved around a lot to open things up for him. Coleman has to put on the big boy pants ASAP. And you’ll see Cook and Davis out of the backfield in different ways, split out, lot of motion, etc. Brady has a challenge and has to earn his keep. And I am sure they’re looking at guys that will become available. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlCowlingsTaxiService Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 2 hours ago, LABILLBACKER said: It's all of the above. We've always had bad luck, so that's a constant. Our conditioning staff is terrible. And our organization has terrible foresight after departing (which made perfect sense) with Diggs/Davis. Oh well, these grown up better figure it out. It wasn’t that long ago that everyone was lauding our training/conditioning staff for keeping the players healthy. Can’t have it both ways.

Paup 1995MVP Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 3 hours ago, mrags said: Maybe all 3. The LBs are all undersized as it’s in the defensive scheme to have fast and agile LBs. Well, they break down more easily because of their size. They also can’t defend the run worth a crap. Luck and strength and conditioning comes from the same place. If you coach and train specific things, then your players may not be in a place to become injured so easily. I’m not a coach or expert here. So I won’t pretend to know if it’s true, or if it’s fixable or how. But like you said, it’s not a coincidence at this point. It continues to be a problem. There is a reason for it. You are just miserable man. We will be fine come the regular season. You think Josh Allen is crying? Give him 5 practice squad WR’s and a good O line and he will still carve everyone up. We have Shakir Kincaid Knox Hollins Coleman and some good RB’s. If the O line is stout we aren’t losing many games (And Samuel could very well be 100% opening day) Get a grip. You come off like a whiny baby B word. And you call yourself a Bills fan?!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm Spartacus Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 3 hours ago, Dan Darragh said: I always wondered what turf toe actually is. So I looked it up. It's a "metatarsophalangeal joint sprain." That clarifies everything. If anyone has ever had gout in the big toe, I wonder if turf toe is more or less painful. Gout can be excruciatingly painful, I know! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
